My Nonprofit Reviews

I started contributing to the EDF several months ago. Growing up in a small town surrounded by National Forest, as a kid I always just assumed that everyone lived in small towns with natural beauty and abundant resources around them. However, the more I learn about the rest of the world, the more acutely aware I become of the fact that mankind's industrious nature is causing severe damage to our life support system. As far as we currently know, we are the only planet with abundant, highly diversified life- yet we seem to be set on destroying it as fast as we can.
It is immensely reassuring to read the reports from the EDF about their multifaceted approaches to solving major environmental problems. Instead of an adversarial attitude, the EDF is working with peoples, governments, and corporations to show them a more efficient way to continue their ways of life while simultaneously slowing- and eventually reversing- the damage they inflict on the environment. I am hopeful that this trend will not only continue, but expand exponentially across the planet towards a better future for both humans and the planet. We are but a link the in the chain, and cannot survive without abundant plant and animal life around us.
